About this artwork
Excavation sits at the centre of the series, where accumulation reaches saturation.
Symbols, fragments of language, incidental marks, and chromatic tensions are layered into the surface, buried, disturbed, and partially recovered. Meaning gathers without hierarchy.
A vertical fissure runs through the field, formed through pressure rather than design. Around it, half-legible glyphs and residual forms remain as artefacts — traces that survived erasure… rather than declarations that demanded visibility.
The work behaves less like an image than a site. It holds scars rather than symbols — evidence of decisions made, undone, and lived with.
This is the point where interpretation strains under its own weight.

Lee Powell is an autodidact Australian artist whose practice began with raw portraiture—early, imperfect attempts to honor the people who helped him rebuild after a personal collapse. His work evolved into large-scale abstract excavation pieces such as “Presence” and “The Excavation,” created through dozens of layered surfaces, scribed glyphs, and buried imagery. These works explore identity stripped back to its foundations: weathered, broken open, and rebuilt with deliberate power. Powell treats the canvas as archaeological ground, unearthing inverted cities, spiral staircases, and symbolic wounds to reveal the ‘source code’ beneath a man’s life. His paintings directly informed his award-winning book on men’s transformation and have positioned him as a rising voice in psychologically driven contemporary art. He also experiments with social commentary works, pushing further into themes of inner architecture, cohesion, and personal sovereignty.
